Whats happening in terms snow loans with the upcoming storm. I heard at least 15 Castleton buses have been sent to Quill already. Any other updates regarding this?

Not aware of that happening yet for Quill or any of the Manhattan depots. Probably will happen over the weekend for Monday.

I heard a few have been transferred already but that may not be the case. What is the MTAs current plan for grounding artics over monday and tuesday?

As of the 4PM local newscast the weather forecasters don't even know where the storm will land once it reaches the east coast. So I doubt the MTA has a plan for a storm they don't know if it will hit NYC hard or not.

From what I heard they are thinking 6-10. However, the uncertainty is whether we will get more not less than that. If it moves slightly offshore, over a foot would be possible.

Castleton is moving buses to Quill today. The storm prep will take place over the weekend.

Nobody 100% knows what's exactly gonna be transferred over the weekend. And the storm isn't even gonna start until tomorrow night so probably nothing is gonna change or be out til then. Goddamn. Just wait and see what happens.

Heres an idea. Dont act like an obnoxious a**hole. If you dont know something, obviously that isnt an issue but you can always say that in a nice way that doesnt piss people off.

No, he's right. You really should hold your horses. How about waiting for a bus to be transferred before posting in this thread.

He may be right. I would just prefer politeness. However, I will wait for info to be posted before asking.

8116, 8185-8187, 8192, 8195, 8201, 8263, 8266, 8270, 8280, 8290-8291, 8293-8294, 8296-8298, 8304-8305, 8314 from Yukon to Quill. 

Damn they really sent in the cavalry. Well, looks like we'll see the same as last time, 40-footers on every route instead of than subbing out the artics.

Add 8144, 8156, 8161, 8169, 8173, 8176, 8179 CH to MQ.

8001, 8007, 8016-8017, 8020, 8027-8029, 8031, 8033, 8074, 8076, 8081 QV to WF.

8047, 8056, 8063, 8084, 8087, 8091, 8100-8101, 8106, 8407, 8409, 8412-8413, 8417-8418, 8422, 8432, 8446, 8462, 8464, 8466, 8469 JA to GH.

 

And one transfer that might outlast the snow loans, we'll see:

4393 QV to KB.

First, What days will the artics be replacing the standards. I am guessing monday and tuesday are a given but is there any info about what the plan is?

Second, QV may be looking to pernamently transfer the 4300s they have. 4395 has also been transferred and was seen on the Bx9 earlier today.

I heard that 6697-6704 went from MV to WF and 6849-6854 from QV to WF. Can anyone confirm that?

6697 is on the M2

6698 is untrackable

6700 is untrackable

6701 is on the m3 

6699  is at MV 

6702-6704 is untrackable

 

My guess on these untrackable units are that they are most likely at WF. However, We'll see monday.
